Hiya, welcome to Sailor Coruscant's Archive. I'm your host, Sailor Coruscant, though in real life I go by the (somewhat more prosaic) name 'Catherine'. I'm a PhD student who occasionally dabbles in fandom. That means that as you wander around my site, you'll no doubt find fanfiction and fanart for my various projects, but there are also a few original stories (one of which was even published for money - well, gift vouchers), my photo albums (currently under construction) and of course my online diary (which I am going to update any day now)! So please look around, have fun, let me know your thoughts on yaoi and hopefully we'll become friends someday.

My day to day life is sometimes interesting, sometimes full of insight, and sometimes just plain weird. So, here for the very first time is the totally insane rantings and ravings of Catherine. I don't normally approve of sharing my thoughts with the internet at large, but what the heck. Let's give it a try, shall we?

Fuck this shit...

Someday I am going to have a place of my own, where no one can ask favours of me that need to be done right this second (when said favour involves me not looking my worst, I don't think "right this second" is an appropriate time frame for someone slightly hungover and premenstrual. Five minutes is all I asked for). And then when I'm dressed up, chucking a hissy fit and saying you don't want to do it anymore is just bitchy.

So... yeah, looking forward to a place of my own, where I can eat on my own schedule, and work as I chose, and things will be clean, and nice, and people will like me. Because everything around here sucks. Especially me.

Calm down, Catherine...

That look of terror wasn't even remotely directed at you.

You will be pleased to note...

...that I just paid my bill and will remain at this url for another two years. This is good.

If anyone has visited the site recently, you'll note a mess of broken links and odd formatting. Apologies, I'm working on it in what little free time I have at the moment.

And since I'm here I might as well blog this column and this video are my favourite web things from the last week.

A slice of pwnage pie, please...

Court Documents filed by J. K. Rowling (vs SVA/RDR Books). (skip down to page 11 and the pie chart) I cannot quite believe just how awesome that graph is. Brings warm feelings to my heart. (And I suppose you could read this article if you had no idea what the court case was about and why that graph fills my heart with squee. But f_w is a much better source)

Dear L...

Stop sending out group emails that make it seem like I am completely incompetent. I mean it.

Yes, we're missing 2.5 abstracts. I am well aware of that, given that I formatted the website / book so that those abstracts were just headings, and not proper outlines of their talks/poster. I even talked with the boss and we decided not to include the .5 of one person's abstract that we did have, preferring to leave hers out and include it in a page of errata after the fact, rather than have an unprofessional half-abstract in the book.

And yes, I have repeatedly chased those people up. By sending out your own chasing emails, you make me look completely incompetent in front of people from outside the university.

And yes, I am more capable than you to proofread this book. Just because you used to proofread joe's astronomy newsletter does not mean you have a better grasp of the English language than I. All it does is make you look like a bragging bitch.

Fuck you,
Me.

PS. "Monday lunchbox" is the most dumb name for a lunchtime meeting ever. I hope A smacks you down for it.

No, I'm not really here...

But I got to thinking too hard about things, and then I got confused. So I thought I'd take my query to the few readers of my blog.

Is the phrase "stellar astronomy" redundant?

I thought it was, but then I found that it had its own (albeit a stub) wikipedia page. I mean, I get what they're getting at, that astronomy has branched out and everyone needs a category these days, but still... It confuzzled me when I started thinking about the words themselves.

An Actual Conversation...

Q: So, when's the website going to go live?
Me: Probably early next week.
Q: Excellent, excellent. You are getting paid for this, right?
Me: Not a cent.
Q: Good, because this is meant to be volunteer work.

*sweetdrops*
I get that a lot.

So, at the end of three years...

I have:

1.5 (draft) chapters of my thesis written;
no real results to speak of (though I have duplicated the results of others, which I'm told is a good place to start);
only 1 year left in which to get this bitch done.

Is it any wonder I'm depressed?
